Aramark Correctional Services had its share of problems in Michigan serving food to the state prisons. In fact, in July, Gov. Rick Snyder ended the contract with the company.

Well, here was one of the many problems the state had to deal with.

A former Aramark  supervisor Michael R. Young, 27, of Nicheloe, was arrested in May and charged with trying to hire an inmate to arrange an assault on another inmate at Kinross Correctional Facility in the Upper Peninsula.

On Thursday, he was convicted of that allegation, the Detroit Free Press reports.
